"From Origin to Ecology examines Merwin's poetry for its most prevalent topic - nature. It uncovers a poet who is actively seeking to understand his and his society's role toward a nature which appears ever-diminishing.

"Frazier examines Merwin's poetry with regard to ecocriticism,...

During the past two decades few contemporary poets have received as much critical attention as W.S. Merwin and John Ashbery. This is true in part because these poets - in quite antithetical fashions - have insistently challenged rudimentary suppositions about signification and meaning.
